Margarito's defensive strategy?
My head is harder than my body? I noticed he just kept his elbows low, and didn't really care too much about defending his head. He gave Cotto no target to hit in terms of his body, and Cotto like all great fighters hit an opponent where they are open to be hit, just Margarito has either a cement head or a neanderthal bloodline.
Re: Margarito's defensive strategy?
I think so many expected (me) Margarito to come out fullbore right away as he and we all have seen how costly starting slow was in the past for him.It was more graduale the aggresion in the first and second.Ive said before that he is far more evolved than just a caveman swinging two big clubs.He uses his arms well to shield body and was working his jab early on lastnight....more often a range finder but he was turning it over early in spots.Of course when it all comes down to it.....I believe he definitely subscribes to "A good defense is a good offense" though.;D
Re: Margarito's defensive strategy?
His defense strategy? Attack, Attack, and Attack. He lives by the principle that offense is the best defense. Only guy who can beat him is the one who can stop him on his tracks, that's the one who can deliver piercing jabs and cracking straights...
